A beautiful leg position isn't just aesthetically pleasing; it's the key to finding your balance and effectively communicating with your horse. In our Leg Position and Function mini-course, we delve into the subtleties of leg position, exploring how even the slightest adjustments can significantly impact your ride.

Discover the Power of a Quiet Leg

A quiet leg, often misunderstood, requires a dynamic interplay of subtle movements. It's about absorbing the horse's suspension and breathing with their sides. By understanding the principles of leg position, you'll gain the ability to influence your horse's movement with precision and grace.

To lengthen your leg without compromising your back, imagine pushing your tailbone forward towards the horse's mane while simultaneously lengthening your hamstrings. Engaging your glute muscles can provide additional support, but remember to maintain a loose and flexible hip joint.

Why is this important?

• Enhanced Balance: A well-positioned leg improves your stability and control.

• Effective Aids: A quiet but active leg allows you to give clear and precise cues.

• Improved Comfort: A balanced position reduces tension and discomfort for both you and your horse.
